I just finished Scott Lynch's third book in the Gentleman Bastards series Republic of Thieves. I enjoyed reading it because Locke and Jean are some of my favorite characters. I think Lynch is a very good author. The book was actually the blending of two stories: one from the past and one...

We had ham, peas, and apple-cranberry relish. I also made the best mashed potatoes I have ever cooked. Aussie said they were like eating potato fluff. They were actually a happy accident.

Eggnog breakfast casserole and a large cup of coffee. Presents are all opened. The kids are playing. It's a pretty good Christmas morning.

There's going to be a weaseling for Christmas! YES!

I'd have to fly 10+ hours into Winnipeg.

My kids are crazy tonight. Noah forgot the words to the song even!

Fajitas! Baking cookies! Prezzies! I even got in a little nap, plus Aussie brought home a bottle of wine that Santa might get into when he visits. :D Tomorrow night we're going to a neighborhood that has 3 cul-de-sacs totally decorated in a Star Wars theme and the local chapter of the 501st...

No it doesn't. I've been struggling for the past few days because my kids want to sit around the house and play together. Aussie's working. So I'm sitting around picking my nose. I can't visit family for obvious reasons. Local friends have plans of their own. So here I am.And don't get me wrong...

We have a friend who has a degenerative disorder of the spine. He's had surgeries. He's been on some of the strongest pain medications available. He still has pain so severe that the only thing that's kept him from suicide is the thought of his wife and kids having to deal with the aftermath. So...

Your tracker is wrong. NORAD says Santa is in Ireland and headed for the Faroe Islands next.

I told them about the temperature. They looked like this:

Saimin, which is kind of the Hawaiian version of ramen. It's great when you have a cold and not hard to make. Wikipedia says, I'd also put haupia up there because who doesn't want a gelatinous coconut custard? That makes it sound weird, but one bite and you'll want to eat a pan of it.

Showed this to the kids. They want to visit Auntie so they can play in the snow. The poor dears have no idea how cold they'd be. lol

Yay! I hope that little 'i'iwi didn't freeze it's okole off getting that message to you, though. ;) Hope you recover from weasel-flu quickly!

In the North Shore area there is a place called Waimea Valley that is just beautiful. It's a historical site, botanical garden, and a waterfall. The main "trail" is paved, so it's easy to walk. Plus they have activities to teach about the ancient Hawaiian culture and conservation. It's touristy...

That's an interesting method. I'll have to try it.

No, I have a conventional electric oven. I've never made a roast in the oven before though. Usually I throw them in the crockpot.

I'm going to attempt to make a prime rib roast (if I can get one) for Boxing Day. I'm nervous.

I'm not a fan of pink, but those are neat!
